PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE REQUIREMENTS BEFORE PROCEEDING
Type of Appliances
Your Model TLC chimney is intended for venting gas,
liquid, or solid fuel-fired, residential-type appliances and
building heating appliances or as defined in NFPA 211, in
which the maximum continuous flue gas temperatures do
not exceed 1000°F. It has been tested and approved to
withstand temperatures of up to 2100°F for three
10-minute intervals.
Pre-Installation Guidelines
If you choose to have your product installed by
others, we recommend these products be installed by
professionals who are certified by NFI (National Fireplace
Institute) or equivalent.
Your Model TLC chimney and connecting stovepipe
diameter should be sized in accordance with the
appliance manufacturer's recommendations.
Plan the installation of your appliance and chimney in
such a way that both your chimney and your stovepipe
run as short and straight as possible. By having too long
and/or multiple-bend installations, you can reduce system
draft that can affect the operation and/or performance

Installation Instructions

All-Fuel Chimney - 5" to 8"
of your appliance and/or chimney system. The chimney
should be located within the building in order to avoid
cutting or altering load-bearing members, such as joists,
rafters, studs, etc. If you have to cut or alter an existing
load-bearing member, special reframing methods are
required, which often include doubling of adjacent
members. If such a case arises, contact your local
Building Code Official regarding local regulations and
proper installation methods.
Sections of the Model TLC chimney that pass through
accessible areas of the building, such as through closets,
storage areas, occupied spaces, or any place where the
surface of the chimney could be contacted by persons
or combustible materials, must be enclosed in a chase
to avoid personal contact and damage to the chimney.
The chase may be fabricated using standard building
materials. Drywall mounted on 2" x 4" studs is typically
used in this situation. The space between the outer wall
of the chimney and the enclosure must be at least a
minimum of 2 inches.
MAINTAIN A 2-INCH MINIMUM AIRSPACE
CLEARANCE BETWEEN INSULATED CHIMNEY
SECTIONS AND COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
